Unprofessional Development

Clara Grace went to work with her daddy on March the eighteenth. Her daddy arrived late and there was certainly no sneaking into the room with an adorable little baby on his shoulder. Awkwardly, he attempted to hush the “oos” and “aws” from his fellow teachers and glanced apologetically at the in-service presenter as he scurried for a seat. Due to the monotone presenter, most teachers and even the principal were glad for the distraction Clara Grace provided. A half an hour before time to go, just as her daddy had rehearsed with her, Clara Grace began to wine inconsolably. “Oh, she’s hungry,” dozens of matronly teachers informed the new father. Neither bottle nor pacifier would do the trick though. In the end, his principal allowed Clara Grace’s daddy to take her home early. All in all, Clara Grace seemed to enjoy her first day at school very well. Although, the thirty-five to one teacher to student ratio will be hard to beat in future years.
